We will be in Anaheim on Friday July 27th and are wanting to attend an Angels game. I%26#39;ve been waiting to receive my Tonight Show tix (just did!), because I wasn%26#39;t sure which day I would get tix for, and now its too late to go through Ebay to get the tix before we leave for San Francisco this Friday. Does anyone have any knowledge of the ';ticket brokers'; standing outside of the park? I don%26#39;t really like to deal with them but it looks like my only option. I thought about trying to win an auction before I go and have the tickets mailed to the hotel in Anaheim I%26#39;ll be staying at but I would have to pay by Paypal and most people only ship to a confirmed address. Any ideas????
Angels tickets
Why not buy your tickets through ticketmaster.com and print them at home?
Angels tickets
Thanks for the suggestion but the only thing thats left are nosebleeds....It%26#39;s a fireworks night at the park. First ,and maybe only time in stadium so I%26#39;d like to have good seats if I can get them. If all else fails I guess I%26#39;ll just buy a nosebleed at the gate and try to move down. .
In the past, if I really wanted to go to a game, I would look on Ticketmaster the day of or the day prior to the game very early in the morning. It seems as though tickets are released for purchase. I have been to both Yankees and Redsox games utilizing this method.
Check out the Angels website for the ticket exchange. This is where the season ticket holders sell their tickets. You will need access to your email to print them out, but most hotels will allow you that.
The other option is take a look on Ebay again and see what the delivery options are. I have bought tickets off Ebay and either picked them up at the Stadium, all over the States, or the person actually will meet me somewhere to get them. Perhaps, if the seller is nearby, they can drop them off at your hotel.
Finally, across the street from the statdium are plenty of ';ticket brokers'; as you so nicely put it that will sell you tickets. These guys usually only work with the actual tickets, not e-tickets. Also, check the gas station on the corner of Katella %26amp; State College the day of the game from about 3 on and you may be able find someone selling then.
Have fun.
I agree with going to the Angels website and clicking on the Ticket Exchange there. You would be surprised at what you find! Some of the tickets are lower than regular price too. Look on the date you want, then go down the column with the amount of tickets that you need, then compare the sections/seats and prices. You can print them on your computer and pay less of a fee than you would normally pay too. I think it%26#39;s the best way to go! You should be able to get them before you leave home.
Here%26#39;s a link:

By the way, the nosebleed section (upper view) isn%26#39;t all that bad. As long as the seats are closer to third base or even first base. It%26#39;s a great stadium. You should go to the game matter what!
I don%26#39;t know if you already have, but I looked at the Angels Ticket Exchange today out of curiosity.
I don鈥檛 know how many seats you need, but for Friday the 27th there are 2 sets of 2 in T226 and 2 in T225 right now. That would put you above and to the right of the visitor dugout in Terrace seats. Also, there are 2 seats in F127 which are closer to the field and sort of above the visitor dugout. The very best seats I see listed right now are 2 in F114, very near the Angels dugout and behind home plate. Unfortunately, they are extremely expensive at $187 each. They are normally $35. All the other seats mentioned above are all selling at a mark up, but not higher than $100.
Here鈥檚 the listing. To print tickets you need an e-mail address and Adobe because they are delivered to your e-mail in an Adobe PDF. If you don鈥檛 have Adobe, maybe you can see if you can squeeze in some time to visit a library that does before you leave.

Thanks for all the info! I%26#39;m trying to get a guy on Ebay to leave the tix at will call but if he can%26#39;t, I%26#39;ve found a pair on the ticket exchange I%26#39;m gonna grab. Since I%26#39;ve found some real experts on here can you tell me how close to the ballpark is the Marriot Townplace Suites...and if I made a good choice in staying there? I just love these forums!
I didn%26#39;t know anything about the Marriott Townplace Suites so I looked it up on Trip Advisor. I looked at a couple of three reviews and they seem a little mixed. It seems people have differing ideas about the noise of the trains nearby. So, I tried clicking on ';map this hotel'; and saw how close the train tracks are.
As someone who lives in a town with lots of trains (I don%26#39;t live in Redlands, but Colton), I can tell you that the train whistles in California can get loud. I would recommend looking into someplace else. If you have computer access you can do that in SF.
Angels Stadium is close to Disneyland and there are lots of hotels to choose from, even down past DLR a little, on the border of Garden Grove. You probably could get a shuttle to the game. You can even take a taxi for a small amount from near DLR.
Someone in the past month or so posted about a stay in a hotel where the visiting teams stayed, but I can%26#39;t remember what hotel. She found it to be very exciting and a comfortable hotel.
I hope someone else posts. Maybe they can see your mind at ease better than I.
Here%26#39;s the hotel I mentioned where the ball players stay and a review about that (by Gwen Rocks). It%26#39;s not as close as many other hotels, though. I%26#39;m just mentioning it because of your interest in baseball. I think you%26#39;d have to call or e-mail the hotel to find out if the players from Detroit are staying there(think that is the team that%26#39;s playing on your night), but it does sound like the hotel that is used for most teams.

Got%26#39;em! Finally got the guy on Ebay to work with me...got a nice pair in section 124. Thanks everyone for your help.
I originally booked the Townplace Suites because it looked like it was real close to the park but with the trains, I may look elsewhere.
On Wednesday and Thursday were doing the typical touristy stuff like The Tonight Show, Warner Brothers Studio tour, etc. Any suggestions for Friday before the game? Is Knotts Berry Park worth a look? We%26#39;ve been to Disney World a few times...would Disneyland be a let down? Any other ideas?
